About this book

The most controversial antislavery novel written in antebellum America, and a best-seller of the 19th century, this novel is credited with intensifying sectional conflict leading to the Civil War. In his introduction, Bromwich places the book in its Victorian contexts and reminds us why it is an enduring work of literary and moral imagination.
